The Best Penalty Takers On FM 2016

Want to know the ultimate penalty shootout team? FM Blog reveals the best penalty takers in FM 2016 ... With surprising results.

Following on from our Best Finishers On FM 2016 article, today we're taking a look at the games' most adept penalty takers... with some surprising results!

These 5 spot-kick-specialists are good enough to make the 'lottery' of a penalty shootout a forgone conclusion.

5. Paul Heffernan - Queen of the South - Penalty Taking: 19 - Age: 33

4. Grafite - Santa Cruz - Penalty Taking: 19 - Age: 36

3. Eden Hazard - Chelsea - Penalty Taking: 19 - Age: 24

2. Cristiano Ronaldo - Penalty Taking: 19 - Age: 30

1. Xabi Prieto - Real Sociedad - Penalty Taking: 20 - Age: 31

Not the list of names you'd be expecting, what a delight to see good old Paul Heffernan up there with Cristiano Ronaldo!

Interestingly, all but one of the top 5 are over 30-years-old. Prieto is of course the pick of the bunch and, with his decent overall spread, looks a very good signing for anyone looking to add a calm head in the midfield.

That's all from me for now, thanks for reading and, until next time, enjoy playing FM 2016!
